:iagree: I recently downloaded all the MSDS forms off the internet to have a current and thorough MSDS book in my shop. As I began going through the shop writing down product/chemical names and numbers to begin my search I thought, "Why even bother keeping all this stuff around and getting MSDS forms for stuff I'll never even use again?" Instead, I began to box up all of the products and chemicals that are no longer used in my process so my MSDS list would be shorter and my shop would be more orderly.
When I think of all the money I spent on all of that stuff it kind of disappoints me.
As for which towels to buy....Depends on the color of paint you'll be working on. If you have light colors like white, silver, light tan etc. I'd just grab a few dozen of the cheapest towels that AG offers. On the other hand if you have black or other dark colored paint, you'll want some known higher quality MF towels for finishing the paint, because the dark colors will allow the sun or other ambient light to illuminate the swirls much more than the lighter colored vehicles.
I personally find it's cheaper for me to buy 4 or 5 "twelve packs" of towels at or around $1-$1.50 per towel and use a brand new towel each time any paint finishing work is being done.
The bottom line is, it costs a lot of money to work out a process that works for you. Yes, you can save a little or even a lot of money by following the lead of others in a thread like this, but a lot of the suggestions you'll get on these forums will be mostly opinion so you have to spend the money, try the stuff out and form your own opinion on nearly everything.
Have fun with it above all!! Life's too short not to. :xyxthumbs:
